But in all seriousness, I’m curious about it as well. Texas seems to be the fastest growing of the top 3 Sunbelt states (which also happen to also be the top 3 most populous states in the country). California seems to be slowing down and Florida might be seen as a goner to climate change. It doesn’t seem like the growth of Houston or Dallas will change, especially as their economics continue to diversify.
So, what if either of them, in maybe the next 20,30,40, etc years, become the largest cities in the US?
Let’s not question whether or not it will happen, but consider the ramifications of such an event if it one day becomes a reality.
Y’all can argue to your heart’s content on that. As before, I don’t think it would make much of a difference besides giving some more clout to Texas, but who knows....

OP
literally said not to question if it will happen or not. I think they're talkin about how would the country
feel different. There's a lot of stigma with the Coasts having the population, cultural, media centers that supposedly represent the middle part of the country. Imagine if the #1 and #2 cities in the US are in the middle of the country and in this case both in a single state. What would that entail.
